Online Discussion with Author Matt Desmond on Evictions in the U.S.

Homes For All and the Right To The City Alliance will host a national online discussion with acclaimed author Matthew Desmond to discuss the growing eviction epidemic and renter crisis in the U.S. The discussion will take place on Wednesday May 18th at 3PM ET.

Matthew Desmond is the author of the compelling new book Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City. The book provides “a ground-level view of one of the most urgent issues facing America today. As we see families forced into shelters, squalid apartments, or more dangerous neighborhoods, we bear witness to the human cost of America’s vast inequality—and to people’s determination and intelligence in the face of hardship."
